BOlLER-HANGER.

Speccation of Letters Patent.

Patented May 21, 1907'.

Application filed November 26,1906. Serial No. 345,104.

and has for its object to provide an improved hanger having the maximum strength in which provision is made for the attachment to a boiler of a single supporting rod.

To this end my invention consists in the combinations and details hereinafter set forth and claimed. j

In the accompanying drawings-Figure l is a front elevation of a boiler, showing my improved hanger in position. Fig. 2 is a side elevation of the same. Fig. 3 is a sectional detail view on the line 3 of Fig. 2.

AIn carrying out my invention I provide a n-shaped flanged plate a, the legs of which are spaced apart and provided at their inner edges with longitudinal strengthening ribs o. These ribs are connected at their upper ends by an integral web having a depressed central portion c', this portion being connected 'to the ribs by inclined or angular portions c.

The central depressed portion of the web is provided with a perforation through which passes one end of a hanger rod c which is secured to the hanger by a nut e. By thus constructing the hanger, it will be observed that I provide a hanger which is capable of withstanding the strains placed thereon, the

point of support at the web being strength.

ened by the angularly arranged portions c. By this construction I also provide a hanger which may be used in connection with a single straight rod e, which may be formed without forging vor unnecessary labor-being a stock form. The parts may also be very readily secured in placeas will be understood.

While I have shownin the present appli cation a boiler suspended from above, it will be understood that there are many cases where my invention could be used in the reversed form, such as, for holding down boilers of marine or locomotive type to guard against the rolling action of the waves or the movement of the boiler when used for railroad purposes, which tend to succumb to the rocking of the machinery while rounding curves or traveling over rough territory,- hence I do not wish to be limited to the specific uses of the invention as hereinafter shown.

I claim:

l. A boiler hanger comprising a nshaped flanged plate provided with spaced parallel strengthening ribs, and an integral web connecting the ends of the ribs, said web having a depressed center portion.

2. A boiler hanger comprising a l-shapedv flanged plate provided with spaced. parallel strengthening ribs, an integral web portion .connecting the ribs at one end, said web portion having a depressed center, and angularly arranged ends connecting the ribs with the depressed center portion.

3. A boiler hanger comprising a n-shaped flanged plate provided with spaced parallel strengthening ribs, an integral web connecting the ends of the strengthening ribs, said web having a depressed center portion, and boiler supporting means connected to the depressed center portion.

4. A boiler hanger comprising a plate adapted to be secured to a boiler shell, a rib j projecting laterally from the plate, and a web connected to the rib to which a boiler supporting means is adapted to be secured.

5. A boiler hanger comprising a plate adapted to be secured to a boiler shell, parallel ribs projecting outwardly from the plate, and a web interposed between and connected to the ribs to which a boiler supporting means is adapted to be secured. 4

6. A boiler hanger comprising a plate adapted to be secured to a boiler shell, parallel ribs projecting outwardly from the plate, and a web interposed between said ribs to which a boiler supporting means is adapted to be secured, said web having diverging portions connected to the ends of the ribs.

7. A boiler hanger comprising a plate adapted to be secured to a boiler shell, spaced strengthening ribs projecting from parallel edges of the plate, and a web interposed between and connected to the ribs to which a boiler supporting means is adapted to be secured.

8. A boiler hanger comprising an n-shaped plate adapted to be secured to a boiler shell, a pair of strengthening ribs projecting outwardly from the edges of the plate, and a web intermediate of and connected to the ribs to which a boiler supporting means is adapted to be secured.

9. A boiler hanger comprising an nshaped plate adapted to be secured. to a boiler shell, a pair of strengthening ribs projecting outwardly from the edges of the plate, a web in- IOO IIO

termediate of said ribs having a central portion to which a boiler supporting means is adapted to be secured, and diverging portions on opposite sides of the central portion connected to the ribs.

l0. A boiler hanger comprising an nshaped plate adapted to be secured to a boiler shell, a pair ol ribs projecting outwardly from the inner edges of the members of said plate, and a web intermediate of and secured to said ribs to which a boiler supporting means is adapted to be secured.

1.1. A boiler hanger comprising an flshaped plate adapted to be secured to a boiler shell, a pair of ribs projecting out- .i 5

ing portions on opposite sides of the central 2cl portion connected to said ribs.
